Rise Above, Play Bold - Soar with the Hawks!

Requirements for participation in extracurricular activities

• Houston County Schools require a student to pass four academic classes and one exploratory class (to include English, math, science, social studies and one elective) for promotion. However, to participate in athletics, a student must be promoted and must pass five of six classes the previous semester. Summer school is an extension of the previous school year. 
• Students enrolled in seventh grade and have met the academic requirements and will not have reached their fourteenth (14th) birthday prior to May 1 of the current school year will participate on seventh-grade teams.
• Students who meet the academic requirements above but have reached their fourteenth (14th) birthday before May 1 of the current school year must participate on eighth-grade teams.
• Students placed in the next grade level are not eligible for the first semester.
• To try out and participate in any sport, students must pass a physical signed by a licensed medical doctor. The physical will be good for one year.
• Students must have on file at school a copy of their certified birth certificate before the student may participate in the competition.
